I belong to the Cork Genealogical Society and have just received this message from them about support required for possible early release of 1926 Irish Republic Census. Maybe some of those interested in Irish Research may like to support this.

"Just a quick note to thank you for your support for the Council of Irish
Genealogical Organisation's (CIGO) campaign to open the Irish Republic's
1926 Census. Access to this valuable resource, the first census taken
after the foundation of the State, will prove to be of immense help to
those seeking ancestors born in Ireland before the commencement of civil
registration in 1864.
We currently have nearly a 1000 signatures already gathered, but we
still need many, many more if we are going to achieve success with the
campaign.
If you haven't already done so, then PLEASE pass on our need for
signatures to everyone you know and ask them to do likewise. We really
need this campaign to spread like wild-fire, nationally and
internationally. You can access the petition here:
1926 Census, Ireland
Success will not be achieved without public support, so please join us
today!
